Consulting with Healthcare Teams

Tranquil Horizon Health Behavioral Services provides consultation in variety of settings:
In a Hospital Setting
We regularly consult with a range of medical and mental health professionals to ensure coordinated, whole-person care.
These may include:
-
Physicians and Specialists (e.g., cardiologists, oncologists) – to address psychological factors impacting medical treatment.
-
Clinical Psychologists and Supervisors – for case consultation or supervision.
-
Psychiatrists – for diagnostic support and medication management.
-
Rehabilitation Teams – including physical, occupational, and speech therapists, to support patient recovery.
-
Social Workers and Case Managers – to address psychosocial needs.
-
Dietitians/Nutritionists – especially in cases involving eating behavior, weight management, or chronic illness.
In this setting, health psychologists are often actively involved in care team meetings, case planning, and patient rounds.
In Private Practice
In private practice, consultation tends to be more selective and often takes place through professional networks or referral relationships.
We collaborate with:
-
Primary Care Physicians (GPs) – to coordinate care or discuss medical concerns related to psychological issues.
-
Psychiatrists and Clinical Psychologists – for shared treatment or referral.
-
Therapists and Counselors – when multiple providers are involved in a client’s care.
-
Insurance Case Managers – to support treatment authorization and continuity of care.
In solo practice, collaboration is typically based on client needs, while group practices may offer more regular internal consultation among allied professionals.
